82. Dearest Bobbie Jo....

Mon Feb 11, 2013, 06:59 PM

Feb 2013

....I'm so very sorry for your loss. I lost my wife to metastatic breast cancer a year ago on Feb. 5th, so I know your pain. I can't take it away, but I'm hear if you need to talk. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who has been through it. I know you don't know me, but I have been here at DU since it began in 2001, and I was fortunate enough to have a member make this offer to me.....and I took her up on it.
God bless you and may you find peace soon.
